| Filing 37 Judge Indira Talwani: ELECTRONIC ORDER granting in part and denying in part Plaintiff's Motion to Change Due Dates to Respond or Answer for Defendants Ashley Weston and Liberty Schilpp #28 . Plaintiff asserts that he mailed notice of the lawsuit and waiver forms to Defendants Weston and Schilpp on February 13, 2021; that on February 26, 2021, he was advised by Attorney Markey that Attorney Markey represented Defendants Schilpp and Weston and would waive service on behalf of his clients; that on March 16, 2021, Plaintiff conducted a Rule 26(f) conference with counsel but objected to Attorney Markey's participation because Attorney Markey had not returned the waiver of service forms; and that later on that same date, Attorney Markey filed executed waiver of service forms.
